                    <p class="lead-paragraph">Scrolling through a vacation's worth of photos used to feel like <strong class="highlight">wading through digital sand</strong>: thousands of shots, no clear narrative, and the nagging guilt that none of it would ever be printed or shared. Our team felt that frustration on a trip to <em class="location">Hokkaidō</em> last winter.</p>
                </div>

                <div class="content-section">
                    <p>Between food pics, GPS check-ins and scribbled Notes app thoughts, we had the <strong class="key-point">raw ingredients for a beautiful travel journal</strong>—but lacked the time (or design chops) to stitch them together.</p>
                    
                    <div class="callout-box">
                        <h3 class="callout-title">The ATP Vision</h3>
                        <p>That pain point lit the fuse for ATP. We asked two questions:</p>
                        <ul class="highlight-list">
                            <li>Could a phone <strong>automatically capture the context</strong> of a day—timestamp, location, mood—without extra effort?</li>
                            <li>Could generative design turn those fragments into <strong>a poster you'd actually pin on a wall</strong> or post to Instagram?</li>
                        </ul>
                    </div>
                </div>

                <div class="content-section">
                    <p>The answer, we realised, was a focused <strong class="success-highlight">"yes,"</strong> because the underlying tech pieces already exist:</p>
                    
                    <div class="tech-grid">

                <div class="content-section">
                    <p>What was missing was <strong class="key-point">orchestration</strong>: a single tap that orders the chaos and produces a visually coherent summary by midnight each day.
